She asked for recommendations from internet users on how to deal with the ongoing misinformation campaign. In response to Ms Singh’s message, numerous social media users voiced their worry and urged the authorities to swiftly address the dissemination of false news. Mumbai Police also replied to the post, advising Ms Singh to contact them. The businesswoman expressed gratitude towards them for their assistance.
